It is actually called the Murray-Darling basin, because it is fed by Australia's two largest rivers, the Murray and the Darling. The Murray-Darling basin is a geographical area covering most of the southeastern quadrant of the continent, fed by dozens of tributaries into the Murray River and the Darling River. Because it is well irrigated by the many rivers, it is also Australia's largest agricultural region, covering two full states and parts of two other states.
